Probably would if the upfront cost was a bit lower and my contact was due for a change.

Depending how the second hand prices go I might buy an American one during the year.

I read that, because its illiegal to restrict newtork choice n France you can buy them cheap over their and choose the network tarrif you want.

**tortohibee** · 10-11-07, 13:57

I read that too, but they don't seem to be much cheaper in France than buying an American one. With so many being sold I'm hoping that the second hand price goes down later in the year.

Difficult to make a phone call on a media box though.

I see your point, but I'd be more interested in the internet browser, PDA, iPod and general gadget appeal of it.

that was my point. i have internet access and a land line. also sometimes when your out you just dont want to be contacted. my other half spent over £150 in 2 weeks when we were in malta on mobile calls as you get charged even if someone phones you so you need constant credit otherwise she couldnt recieve any calls. fuck phones i hate them and have always had a phobia over them weird i know .

some are just gagets to show off. it pisses me off no end to have some arse showing you a video of yourself when your pished. video phones

Admittedly the internet side of it looks great but it doesn't even have edge so my bet is that it will run very slowly . As a gadget i reckon it lags behind lots of current phones , afterall an ipod is only an mp3 player is it not

This is true but there's a brand loyalty thing too: I love the way Apple stuff looks, works, and feels so the equivalent spec on a different phone wouldn't necessarily hold the same appeal. For example, I know that the N95 is probably a better phone but I lost faith on Nokias a whille ago when you put me onto SE phones.

Software wise the phone will kick any current phones ass, it runs a cut down version of Leopard and for browsing it runs Safari (Mac lovers will appreciate the quality/power/usability/flawless-ness of the above)......rest assured the phone hasn't been created for taking pictures/videos such is the 2MP quality though it will have some supped up software digitizer that will prob. enhance the images to that of at least 4MP.

Essentially it was created to bring together three of the best creations of the last two decades: The Mobile Phone, The Internet and The iPod, I've only seen the pictures but still think its far too expensive, yet again the N95 does cost £295 separately and I'd never pay that for it - does have an amazing

Good point D. Even though it's a Nokia, I'll be keeping that in mind when my contract is up next year.

Fecking 18 month contracts

You can still get 12 months , christ who wants to be stuck with the same phone for longer than a year .
Only problem with the N95 is battery life (that i know of)
I'm very happy with the N73 and all the things you can have it do

What's the internet browsing on the N73 like? Has it got a fairly big screen compared to the SE k800i?

Lcd Sony Ericsson K800i = 240 x 320 pixels, 2.0 inch, 30 x 40 mm
Nokia N73 = 240 x 320 pixels, 36 x 48 mm

Lcd is a fair bit bigger , ive not done much browsing but what i have done has been fine , pages load quick etc.
Have you tried Mini Opera Conor ? A Java based browser that gets great reviews
